FRC 100.011 — The Translation Table: FRC Vocabulary in Mainstream Physics Terms

A term-by-term dictionary between Fractal Resonance Coherence (FRC) and established physics, written for a reader who already knows thermodynamics, dynamical systems, and quantum foundations. Its purpose is to make good on FRC's standing claim that it invents none of its parts: each FRC object is mapped to the mainstream concept whose shape it borrows (Kuramoto/Haken order parameter, Onsager–Prigogine irreversible thermodynamics, Landauer's principle, Bohm–Valentini quantum equilibrium, Ruelle–Pollicott resonances, Landau–Ginzburg relaxational dynamics), with the relationship labeled honestly as same-shape-as, borrowed-from, or genuinely-new-bet. A false-friends section lists FRC terms a physicist will misread if the everyday meaning is imported. A closing section isolates the small set of claims that are actually FRC's own — the falsifiable bets, not the vocabulary — and lists the kills already taken. The discipline is: borrow the shape for the established parts, and stake novelty only on the losable predictions. Part of the Fractal Resonance Coherence (FRC) corpus.
